Tiny African Nation delcares President &quot;God&quot; Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3098007.stm

quote:
State radio in the tiny west African state of Equatorial Guinea has hailed the nation's leader as "the country's God".

In a programme called Bidze-Nduan (Bury the fire) which deals with "peace, tranquillity and the order reigning in the country" the radio declared that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema was "in permanent contact with the Almighty".


etc..etc..


Time to Break out the MOAB to test that theory.

That makes him like a ninja, who are mammals and totally flip out and kill people all the time without even thinking twice about it.

Suffering from ads?

Hmm... it's going to be interesting when if he meets recognized religious leaders as to the protocol oberserved.

So, do you get to vote for your local God in equatorial Guinea, or is it a dictatorship?

Sorry, can't check the CIA website, my broswer is running like a snail.

Seems to me that godhood is clearly a weapon of mass destruction. The country is so tiny that even a very weak nation could take it over.

Or was the whole thing about He sees everywhere just metaphorical?

That's probably better than the apolyton employment rate.

And the 30% are probably his unpaid mistresses.

After all, according to the things which were said on radio, I think he could be considered much like the pope as some kind of Gods Representative on Earth.
